Beauty Marks
I have a beauty mark under my left eye and a small mole above the left corner of my lips. They are both super small and I never mind them. I know some models use beauty spots to cover up pimples. Of course, this would probably only work if breakouts were infrequent and very small. -
Bonnet Hair Dryers
I went to Value Village yesterday and I found a nice soft bonnet dryer. It's by General Electric, it's pink and white and is in excellent condition. It looks like it's from the the early 60's. It came with a case and a waist strap (and a lot of mouse poop). I had to give it a good cleaning... -

lyburnum - I love your hat. Did you get it online? Here is my hair this morning. This is the set I normally do after I wash my hair. I love perm rods! Here is a hat I bought yesterday at WalMart -
Thoughts on cake mascara
HElp! I ordered a LaFemme Cake Mascara w/ brush in brown on eBay. It has finally arrived but it doesn't look like the picture. The mascara cake is brown but the case is black. The case is imitation turtoise shell in the picture. Also the picture depicts a small toothbrush-like brush but I... -
ROLLS- DIY tool
I always struggle with rolls. I can do them but it usually takes a lot of fumbling and thousands of attempts. So today I took a clothes hanger (the wiry metal ones) and cut a length of wire 8 inches long. I then folded it in half with pliers. It looks like an over sized bobby pin without the... -

As if we didn't chat about pin curls enough. . .
I find rag curlers give me a very tight frizzy curl. Am I doing something wrong? Right now, perm rods are my preferred curling method. -
Lipstick Application 101
I have many different shades of red and I used to buy corresponding shades of liner. It really adds up. I bought a clear liner from Revlon Colorstay and I really like it. It really is clear and works well. Now I only need one liner for all the lipsticks I own and all the lipsticks I buy in... -
Hair cut: Layers
Thanks for all the replies everyone. I found this link http://www.geocities.com/retrohairstyles/ivan2.html posted by Miss Bella Hell to be particularly helpful. Looks safe for non-vintage hair and it's something I can print and bring to the hairdressers. I'll start with long layers and... -
Hair cut: Layers
I read that layers are crucial to a vintage hairstyle. I don't have any layers but my vintage hairstyles seem alright to me, I think. I am way over due for a haircut and I am thinking of asking for layers. Anything specific I need to ask for? How will having layers help vintage hairstyles? -
Back to zits
hormonal acne I had a little baby girl 2 weeks ago and since then my skin has been terrible. I've got the blues, I'm super sore, and now I look like poo! I don't have much time and money to spend on taking care of myself which doesn't help. What treatments are there for hormonal acne? I'm... -

Skin problems from stomach problems :(
I'm sorry to hear you are ill. Perhaps if you went on a cleanse diet-under the supervision of your dr. of course. Are your stomach ills viral/bacterial? Some of these infections can easily/unpleasantly be cured by fecal transplant. Few Drs. offer the procedure because they find it repulsive... -
Spray Tans?
I had a spray tan once and I was very dark and orange. On the bright side it really made my blue eye pop! But it was expensive and too dark for my tastes. I much prefer to do it myself with the L'Oreal Sublime Bronze gel. The cream is alright but I find I get a more even tan with the gel... -

Setting Pattern Central
Here is how I set my hair last night. I had three curlers, one above the other, in front and on each side of my center part. They were set in a out and downward direction, (hair is placed OVER the curler when you first begin rolling.) I set the rest in curlers in a row along my nuke. I... -
Show us your hair do's....
I set my hair last night in the hopes of doing a Rita Hayworth with combs look (as in Lolita's tutorial). I had a lot of difficulty with the combs and decided to try some rolls instead. I made two parallel, opposing rolls with a center part. My baby hairs were EVERYWHERE and for once I... -

Nutrition and exercise!
Or maybe you can try those thermal exercise belts. They are supposed to help sculpt difficult areas. -
Back to zits
I'm pregnant so I've had to stop using all my salicylic acid based spot treatments. I recently got a zit:mad: and just treated it with a bit of castor oil and a hot facecloth before my oil cleansing method. It's working well. The zit is VERY slowly going down and my skin doesn't look dry and... -
getting more life from your set?
My husband doesn't mind and we usually get a good laugh out of it. He knows when I wear a set to bed that I will look fabulous the next day and he appreciates the effort I make. -

Lil' Miss A - Your hair looks great and I love the jacket you are wearing. You remind me of Julie LeBreton in the movie "Maurice Richard/The Rocket." I couldn't find any good pictures so here is the trailer.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkcFx1p4-Cg -
Show us your hair do's....
Lolita - Your hair always looks great and you make it look so effortless! Thank you for including a picture with your rollers :eusa_clap . I always have a hard time setting the rollers near the front so that my hair frames my face properly. I've got a better idea of how to do it now! How...
